According to http://www.JohnsonForAmerica.com, Gary Johnson was known for:

* Vetoing 750 bills (more than all the vetoes of the other 49 Governors combined).* Reducing taxes $123 million annually.* Cutting the rate of government growth in half.* Eliminating the state’s budget deficit.* Leaving the state government with 1200 fewer employees (without firing anyone).* Leaving the state government with all-time high bond ratings.* Enacting major welfare reform, which cut government welfare spending by 30%.* Shifting state Medicaid to managed care.* Bringing the New Mexico state government and the Navajo nation leadership together to finally resolve century-old disputes over water, gaming, and other issues.* Privatizing half of the prisons in the state.* Shooting down campaign finance legislation.* Increasing the percentage of the budget devoted to improving the state’s education system.* Repealing the Little Davis-Bacon Act, thereby allowing non-unionized labor the ability to be employed in construction of new schools and other public works.* Overseeing the construction of 500 miles of new, four-lane highway (designed, financed, built, and guaranteed by the private sector).* Running 100% positive campaigns, never mentioning his opponents once in print or ads.* Coming from outside of politics with no political machine behind him to beat a former Republican Governor in the Republican primaries and then unseat an incumbent Democrat Governor in the general election by a 10 point victory margin, even at a time when Democrats outnumbered Republicans 2-1 in the state.
